Wireless ranges can be impacted by a variety of factors
such as extremely cold temperatures. Extreme cold
may temporarily reduce the effective range between the
sensor and the base station. If the unit’s performance
fails due to low temperature, the unit will resume proper
functioning as the temperature rises to within the
normal temperature range (i.e. no permanent damage
will occur to the unit due to low temperatures).
